5. The location of IKSV as a university has immense historical significance. As a matter of fact, the University is situated in the ancient district of Rajnandgaon. During Ashoka’s reign, the region was the part of Mauryan Empire. However, the kings of ancient India were patrons of art, music, and dance. So, Maharaja Birendra Bahadur Singh and maharani Padmavati Devi donated this piece of land to the King of Khairagarh. As a result, the palace turned into a music university. Hence, its name was the University of Music & Fine Arts. As far as the name is concerned, two theories are surrounding it. Moreover, the first theory states that Indira was the daughter of the King and she was fond of music. But, death hit her soon. So, in her remembrance, the University got the name – Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyala. Yet, another theory suggests that the state kept the name on the ex-Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. In fact, she inaugurated IKSV on 14th October 1956. As of now, it is unclear that which theory holds more significance. HISTORY
